Counting Coins
May. 14th, 2009 01:00 pmI've been feeling very mentally unfocused lately so I tried my usual fix: letting myself get lost in some small routine task. In this case, I counted coins.
Friends are constantly giving me Canadian coins. Somehow, these coins turn up in their pockets but since most US vending machines reject them, they don't have much value unless you can slip one past a store clerk. Since I do return to Canada periodically, many folks are holding onto the odd loonie, giving it to me when our paths cross.
Counting up the current collection, I have slightly more than $170 in Canadian coins --I didn't count the pennies as I'm sure there's less than $2 and I just tripped across another small cache of change. Now I just have to get to Canada again some time to deposit them in the bank.
